Ok, its no rumor that this week in the world of Nokia and blogging, some juicy info hit the net. Starting out at Symbian-Guru's, (who completely forgot to watermark his images after I so adamantly reminded him to do so ), and linking to by me... and the rest of the internet. News about the Nokia N81 and Nokia n82, other than just rumors that we've heard since last year, had finally come to some sort of existance. In a perfect world of journalism, this would have been greatly appreciated.
Sometime that night I received an email asking me to remove my post. Since I'm a chatty person and try to respond to emails I asked if I should remove the whole post or just the images. Now some think that might have been a stupid move on my part and maybe it was, but I just like clarification. So I was asked to remove the whole post. What I didn't understand was why? By that time news and images were all over the net!! Picked up my big sites such as Engadget, Gizmodo; spread across forums such as Howard Forums, Mobile Review, Symbian-Freak... so why do I have to remove my content if they don't? Because I'm the little person?
I had a chat with someone from Engadget and they said that it was just Nokia trying to bully me. I didn't appreciate that too much. They also said that they have told Nokia in the pas that they are not removing anything once its posted.
I will admit... I'm the little blogger, and I hate that. Truth of the matter is, the little bloggers have to work 3x's as hard as these big sites!! Mostly because we don't have a freakin team of writers.
I'm also pissed because its not my fault that someone leaked information that was gonna make the internet blaze on a Friday!!
Like the peacekeeper that I am, I removed the content. I don't know if that was the right decision or not but I'm not happy with it.
I love the joys of motherhood, but they come with a price. NOISE!!!! It doesn't matter if both parents are home, the kids always flock to mommy... I don't get that. My husband can be awake and in the kitchen and my kids will still come to my room and wake me up to make breakfast. Lol, is this allowed!!!!!
Today I vowed to get some much needed work done on my blog. I've had posts sitting in draft status that my buddy Ricky has beat me to posting. For some reason I'm very easily distracted by whats going on in the house. If the kids are in their room and they get too quiet I fear that someone has gotten into something. Lol usually I'm right!
So, today... connected to my laptop via GPRS modem on the N95 I have moved my little office setup to the passenger side of my truck. Lol... anything for the sake of peace and quiet!!!
So the family was just watching the results of the Anna Nicole's "baby daddy" drama court case. First of all, I could really care less because it doesn't affect me, but sometimes people just get so wrapped up in whats going on outside of their own lives.
Basically, since I didn't care to know the whole goings on, the guy who the media claimed wasn't the father ended up being the father. Ok thats great!! Woohoo!! Woopie. But lemme tell you... I made one comment and everyone jumped on me. Lol, which usually is the norm with my family. The comment that was made, if you haven't or didn't care to follow the case, was "I hate to be the one to say I told you so, but...." and I case the after statement was "I'm the father". The only thing I said was.... wow that was pretty cocky.
My cousins jumped on my case about my statement, and even tried to draw up scenarios and "what-if" situations in order to get me to see that what I said was completely wrong. I still stick by my statement... lol what he said was cocky. I don't expect anyone to agree with me, but what I hate is that they said that I would've said the same thing, or something similar. I am a person that doesn't like confrontation, especially in the argumentative nature. I've left many people arguing by themselves just because if 2 or more people are yelling no one gets heard. And I need to save my voice for yelling at my kids!! Lol they are still young and haven't reached teenage years yet, so I know I have many years of yelling ahead of me!
I guess I could be called mis-understood, but being called immature or naive just because I don't express myself in a loud or cocky nature as others doesn't make me any of those things. I'm just different. Yes they explained that the media had put him in the position to feel that way... but why would I be cocky just to prove something to the media? Lol we know the media... no matter what they are gonna twist it around anyway! Its that "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. So, me personally... I would just walk away knowing that I won. I don't have to prove anything more than what DNA just confirmed to the world...
Sorry for the worthless post, but dammit I had to rant and vent.

What is, or used to be, your SSB (secret single behavior)?
Submitted by Dee.
Hmmm, secret single behavior... man that was soooo long ago!! I do remember when I come home from work the only time the tv went on was to watch the news. I invested in this digital music box from my local cable company that you can program certain music channels on. My addiction was chamber music. It was so soothing to me. I would light my candles, turn on my digi-box and chillax!!
Man I miss those days...
My very first interaction with Phil was prior to the launching of the Voice of S60 site in which I embarrasingly did the first podcast. Why, I have no clue. Meeting Phil in person was like running into an old friend from school. We had a blast and basically didn't discuss much of anything business or Nokia related. I guess thats the thing with social networking.
After a stressful train ride to NY I've finally arrived and been here for several hours. My train was supposed to leave at 5:40am on Wednesday, but that was delayed by an hour. Then another 3 hour delay due to freight trains. Who know train tracks had traffic?
I arrived at 7:45 instead of my planned 3:45 and instead of being excited I was exhausted. But, the smells and sounds of the city were a reminder that I was home. I'm not an originally resident of NYC but lived about 45 minutes outside the city and made it my playground for many years.
So, now at 4:34am I can't sleep. Not sure whether its the excitement or the fact that my cramped hotel room (which appears more like a dorm room) is completely hot as hell!
The S60 event is about 12 hours away and I can't wait!!!

Which household chores do you most/least enjoy?
Submitted by falcon.kmc.
I mostly enjoy doing the dishes. I can't really depend on the hubby to do it the way that I do. It reminds me of those commercials from back in the day when the Palmolive lady scrubs the dish to get that squeaky clean sound! Plus it keeps my hands nice and soft.
I DESPITE, LOATHE, HATE, CAN'T STAND cleaning the kids bathroom. Or basically any bathroom in my house! In a house of 5 I'm the only female and left with the job of cleaning the bathrooms... thats if I want it done correctly. Why the heck did God give guys peckers if they can't aim at the toilet the correct way!! And you'd think that the man of the house would teach them that!! sigh
